Transformed into a Princess of the Late Ming Dynasty: Invincible

Chapter 7 Asking Brother to Give Up His Throne

In the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen was reviewing memorials. Memorials piled up like mountains every day. There was no prime minister in the Ming Dynasty, so Chongzhen had to review and review every memorial.

"His Majesty"

Wang Chengen came from outside the hall and said:

"The Crown Prince's tutor, Qiu Zhizhong, reports that the Princess went to Wenhua Palace today to speak with the Crown Prince."

When Chongzhen heard this, he raised his head and looked at Wang Chengen. Chongzhen also felt very strange. Meizhu and Cilang were siblings, so it was understandable for them to play with each other, but why would the prince's tutor come to report specifically when the two siblings were talking?

"Let him in."

Wang Chengen heard Zhu Youjian's permission:

"Announcement, the Crown Prince's companion Qiu Zhizhong enters the palace."

Qiu Zhizhong entered the hall and knelt on the ground, sweat on his forehead, his head lowered very low, and said:

"This afternoon, Her Royal Highness the Princess went to Wenhua Hall to talk with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She also asked the Crown Prince to give up the throne to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Chongzhen, who was reviewing memorials while listening, stopped writing with his brush when he heard such surprising words. Why did Meizhu ask Cilang to give up the position of crown prince to her? This was not something that someone of her age would say. Could it be that she was just talking nonsense as a child?

Or does she really want to be the crown prince?

At this time Qiu Zhizhong continued:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already given up the throne to the Princess, and asked the Princess to take back the Crown Prince's chair."

When Qiu Zhizhong said this, Chongzhen seemed to have realized that this did not seem like childish talk. Meizhu confirmed it again and again and even took the chair away. It seemed that he was serious about it. There had been no precedent of a woman inheriting the throne since ancient times!

Chongzhen waved his hand.

"You go back to Wenhua Palace first."

After Qiu Zhizhong left, Zhu Youjian stopped what he was doing and asked Wang Chengen:

"What do you think about this?"

"Your Majesty, I believe this matter should be addressed directly to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Your Majesty has not met with the Crown Prince and Princess for a long time. Perhaps the Princess is speaking these rash words out of a desire to see Your Majesty."

After listening to Wang Chengen's answer, Zhu Youjian realized that it had indeed been too long since he had met Mian Chu. He decided to go and see her with the Queen tonight.

Zhu Mianzhu was walking around with a wooden man following behind her. She was born into a royal family in this life. If she was born in an arid land, she might have become cannibalistic.

As soon as we reached Kunning Palace, the eunuch standing guard outside the palace said:

"Your Highness, the Ministry of Works has sent a batch of tools for the craftsmen today and placed them in the side hall."

When Zhu Mianzhu heard that the materials for making the doll had arrived, she hurried to the side hall. Zhu Mianzhu wondered if she would be regarded as the second Carpenter Emperor... She was not the emperor anyway, and even if she became the emperor, it would be for her clone to sit in the seat.

After dinner, with the precise control of the chicken talisman's telekinesis and the control of the size of the power with the cow talisman, Zhu Mianzhu quickly carved a puppet that was 30% similar to herself. No matter how much the puppet was carved, it was still very different from the real person. Next, if the puppet did not look like herself, she would have to rely on extraordinary power.

Looking at the candles and lanterns that illuminated the palace, Zhu Mianzhu was considering whether to use the sheep spell to let her soul leave the palace for some fun. She had come to the end of the Ming Dynasty but had never seen what it was like.

At this time, a vague voice came from the eunuch who was on guard outside the palace:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty"

After hearing this, Zhu Mianzhu thought that what she had done during the day seemed to be effective. If she really used the power of talismans to save the Ming Dynasty, she would be exhausted to death. It was impossible for Zhu Mianzhu to go to every city and every battle to perform miracles. That would be too tiring, running around.

If the problem of food and clothing for the peasants in the late Ming Dynasty was not solved, it would be impossible to kill them all by just killing them.

Zhu Mianzhu, who was sitting in a daze in Kunning Palace, saw Chongzhen and Empress Zhou arrive:

"Father Emperor, Mother Empress"

Zhu Mianzhu felt very uncomfortable calling people she was not familiar with "Father" and "Mother". She had memories of her previous life, and she rarely saw these two people in this life. Naturally, there was no family affection or affection between them. The only thing she had was the grace of giving birth to her. Maybe it would be better if she got to know them better in the future.

Empress Zhou picked up Zhu Mianzhu and followed Chongzhen into the main hall. She sat down, placed Zhu Mianzhu beside her, and said with a serious face:

"His Majesty came all the way to see you today. What did you do during the day?"

Zhu Mianzhu sat on a small chair nearby, raised her head and said to Chongzhen:

"Didn't I ask my brother to let me take the throne of the crown prince?"

Queen Zhou was shocked:

"Mianzhu, do you want to be the crown prince?"

At this moment, Chongzhen raised his hand and signaled the queen to stop first.

"Since ancient times, there have only been crown princes, not crown princesses. Moreover, a crown princess cannot guarantee that the country will remain the Zhu family's country. The bloodline of the child she gives birth to will also be someone else's. Wouldn't that mean handing over the ancestral foundation to others? How will I face my ancestors in the underworld then?"

At this time, there were only Zhu Mianzhu, Zhu Youjian, and Queen Zhou in Kunning Palace, so Zhu Youjian only regarded this incident as a family matter. He keenly felt that Zhu Mianzhu seemed different from other children of the same age, so he did not completely deny it today.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was not much different from the end of previous dynasties. There were constant refugees inside and the Later Jin was growing stronger outside. Zhu Youjian was now eager for a change. Chongzhen knew himself too well. He had been trained as an idle prince since he was a child and he was not fit to be an emperor at all.

The Ming Dynasty cannot perish in its own hands. I attend court every day, review memorials every day, and have never slacked off for a single day. However, the country's national strength is declining day by day. It seems that the rebels in the northwest can never be wiped out. The Jin people plunder the Ming Dynasty every year. Every year, I and the people in the palace save money by eating frugally and sending silver to the border, but we are still defeated every year.

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Mianzhu, hoping that she was not acting on impulse.

Zhu Mianzhu said:

"As for the heir, I can adopt my brother's child. I don't need my father to make me the Crown Princess. I only hope that my father will allow Mianzhu to leave the palace freely and do something that is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty."

"I had a dream a few days ago. I saw my future self. She stood with her arm broken in the burning imperial city, in what is now the Kunning Palace. She transmitted her memories to me and finally told me to change everything and take my father, the emperor, and my mother with me and escape from the palace."

These past two days I felt like I had suddenly gone through more than ten years. Although my body had not grown up, my mind had grown up in an instant.

He then raised his hand and released the power of the rat spell. A ray of light shot out from his hand and, under the illumination of the oil lamp, brought the already carved puppet to life.

Under the light, Zhu Youjian and Queen Zhou only saw Zhu Mianzhu raise her hand, and then a stream of light came out from her daughter's hand, and then a wooden sculpture next to her stood up.

Seeing the wooden sculpture that had just been lying on the ground stand up, the two of them couldn't help but stand up in horror.

This! This! This! The power of ghosts and gods!

The woodcarving then walked to Zhu Mianchu's side. Zhu Youjian looked at the face that was 90% similar to his daughter's. The face stared at him with empty eyes, and then he said with his mouth opening and closing:

"It's very simple, I will become emperor."

After he finished speaking, the entire palace fell silent, and Empress Zhou and Zhu Youjian stared at Zhu Mianzhu in disbelief.

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Mianzhu, then at the terrifying creature beside him, took a deep breath, and said:

"If you can pacify the country both internally and externally, and restore China to its former glory, with all nations paying tribute, I can appoint you as the General of Heavenly Strategy and establish the Heavenly Strategy Palace. What's wrong with that? Your father can then abdicate the throne to you directly, and you don't need to be the crown prince."

Queen Zhou suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, in history, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, ascended to the throne by killing his brother. Cilang cannot die in obscurity! They are all your children!"

Then he looked at Zhu Mianzhu.

"Mianzhuo, are you going to attack your royal brother?"
